Sure, that's possible, but I'm guessing it will mean she joins.

I'm absolutely excited rather than worried. Holding a character back to bring them back in later for dramatic effect is right in Oda's wheelhouse. She has a foe to fight, a mentor to avenge and still has to understand what that mentor gave up his life for. The fact Oda is waiting to show us even...

Exactly right! We're officially at 10 chapters without an update on Carrot, and now there is no excuse: Oda has gone out of his way to update us on just about everybody EXCEPT her, Wanda and Perospero (and Fukurokuju, who we know is up to something). If Carrot's absence two chapters ago when...

Nevertheless, he thought at the time it was the rabbit, and that's the time period he would have had his full crew in mind. Again, not proof, but interesting.

No, I didn't remember reading that there. Just noticed re-reading manga vol. 4 today and checked both to see if it was mentioned, but I couldn't find it on AP. Obviously it's not proof of anything, but it's certainly interesting.

Just found this today, very cool.

My question still is, why did Oda kill off Pedro if all Carrot is going to do is the exact same thing he did?

You just said the Straw Hats only care about the Road Poneglyphs. Who's the one belittling them here? I feel like you're making my argument and my conviction out to be personal, that I want Carrot as a Straw Hat more than anyone else because I like her more than anyone else. That's false. I...

It's Oda making Carrot special and not explaining why. What makes her stand out from other Minks? Purely her closeness to the Straw Hats. She's got a clear bond with over half the crew, she's faced two Emperor territories with them, and Pedro's death deeply affected them all, which only ever...

Again, she could do that, but she could just as easily be the point of contact for the rest of the Minks looking for Poneglyphs while she and the Straw Hats search for the last Road Poneglyph and unravel the secret of the Rio Poneglyph. Pedro was looking for Poneglyphs to bring the dawn, but he...

Thank you. Time will obviously tell, but I like to think I've been guided pretty well all these years.

Oh no, I got that the first time. I'm just encouraging you to yuk it up while you can.

The purpose of the Nox Pirates was to bring about the dawn of the world using the Poneglyphs. With his last words, Pedro told Carrot that the Straw Hats were the ones who would bring that dawn. Whatever she does in the future will be in direct service to them. Sure, making a brand new crew could...

We don't know what Carrot "needs" because the battle isn't over yet, that's the point.

Hey now, I may not be on the Yamato train, but I'd be the last to call them a fool.

I think the phrase you meant was, "a pot calling the kettle black". If you're calling a spade a spade, you're not generally including yourself. So forgive me for being confused. And what I'm insinuating is that yeah, I'm biased and I like it that way, and I have no regrets about being so biased...

Is a musician the first thing that comes to mind with a revived skeleton, though? Or someone who sprouts extra limbs being an archaeologist vs anything else? Those were powers that Oda gave new benefits to having; Brook used his soul powers in his music, but it wasn't built that way. Same with...

Obviously anything can happen, Yamato could be a fruit bat for all we know. You started this with trying to claim the characters don't care about folklore, which would be the only reason anyone would know what a byakko is. And what does Carrot have to do with this? I'm talking about Yamato on...

And your headcannon is that Kaido doesn't have a clue about folklore and randomly thinks that, rather than a dino like all his other top men got, the best fruit for his heir would be a tiger just because. Obviously all I have is what I see the story presenting, so you just gotta do you and we'll...
